You can't trust it, as Papersatan points out, even if they do put a regional name on the restaurant. Plenty of "Beijing" restaurants serve no Northern specialities, for example. But wontons filled with cream cheese? That is just gratuitously horrible; a "Chinese" food item that would make most Chinese people unwell!

In Eastern Sydney at least, and especially in the sort of "Chinatown" where I live, there is a large enough Chinese population to support, and even demand, good Chinese food, but Australia is not without horrid examples. In Cowes on Phillip Island (a touristy place in Victoria, better known for motorcycle racing than fine dining), the food was typical gooey, over-sweet, generic Southern Chinese, and they laid the place-settings with knives and forks.

I love those wontons stuffed with cream cheese, but they are in no way Chinese. None of those places are. They're 'murican.
